The 3d Circuit #CourtOfAppeals has foiled #JohnsonAndJohnson's plan to use a bankruptcy scam called the #TexasTwoStep to escape paying 40,000 women whom the pharma giant sold carcinogenic, asbestos-tainted talcum to dust over their vulvas.

-4 giorni al voto francese. Bomba dell’oppositore russo #Navalny su #MarineLePen: “È finanziata da una banca di Putin, corrotta come Cosa Nostra”. Endorsement x #Macron di Claude Chirac e Sarkozy. Tiepido l’ex premier de Villepin: “Voto Macron x principio, non x adesione”.🧵

La media delle intenzioni di voto negli ultimi sondaggi x le #presidenzialifrancesi attribuisce 55,8% a #Macron e 44,2% a #MarineLePen. Nel 2017 EM vinse con il 66% contro il 33% di MLP. Mélenchon si è offerto primo ministro portando in dote il 20% ottenuto al primo turno

Su #Macron pesa scandalo #McKinsey. La società Usa gestisce campagna vaccinale francese ed è indagata x frode fiscale. Inoltre, il 13/4 Camera Usa ha confermato “gravissimo conflitto d’interessi”contro funzionari McKinsey, simultaneamente consulenti di #PurduePharma e di #FDA

🧵 Mini serie recomendada 100%, refleja fielmente el negocio de las farmacéuticas, más concretamente #purduepharma, una empresa familiar que ha estado años vendiendo #oxycontin a los estadounidenses, un opiaceo muy adictivo.
m.filmaffinity.com/es/movie.php?i…
Este fármaco se ha llevado la vida de 500.000 personas además de millones de adictos, traficantes del medicamento, médicos que lo recetaban para cualquier dolor a cambio de dinero, viajes y prebendas. A día de hoy Purdue se ha declarado en bancarrota y
no se han depurado responsabilidades, ni se hará. Además de todo esto, varias farmacéuticas aprovecharon para seguir esa línea, falsificar los prospectos y comercializar medicamentos adictivos como si no lo fueran, un total despropósito.

Seen #Dopesick ep 6?

I bet you were appalled by the "blood charts" & manipulated data Rick & Randy uncovered. Think that can't be real? No way #PurduePharma actually did that?

Let's start from the beginning. This is what a normal, scientific chart should look like...

1/5
2/5
The last chart had even intervals up the Y-axis. Totally normal. We learned how to read these in 6th grade

But #PurduePharma knew the data undermined the claim that OxyContin had fewer "peaks & valleys"

So they made a new one. Look at the Y-axis. Notice anything strange?
3/5
Did you see the Y-axis intervals narrowing? Purdue was compressing data to mislead you.

FDA didn't approve. OxyContin didn't actually have "fewer peaks and valleys"

But Purdue kept going. Look at this Y-axis. 1-10 = 10-100. If I didn't point it out, would you have noticed?

2PM WITH @GovMikeDeWine: bit of a delay today on the state's end, so we're stuck staring at a familiar pandemic screen so far.

Governor's news conference set to begin in a few moments, and I'll tweet the updates here... Image
THIS IS A NEW ONE: former New Jersey governor @ChrisChristie is on the governor’s Zoom briefing today. Image
DeWine: “For my fellow Ohioans who have said that until now this virus did not impact their family...the message to them today is, it’s now serious.

We need every one of you...to be fully engaged in this battle.” Image

1. The #PurduePharma Ch. 11 case was filed in White Plains NY. This court has become a court of choice for large cases. The Honorable Robert D. Drain is the United States Bankruptcy judge and presides over several high profile large cases like Sears. Sorry Delaware. 😎
2. In light of media reports of massive fraudulent transfers, I expect the DOJ will be pressured to seek the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee. I would probably expect the states that are impacted to jointly hire a top Bankruptcy firm to try to gain control of the case.
3. This may not be as big as Delaware's asbestos litigation but will impact our drug industry that may be facing something bigger than they are currently prepared to deal with because Bankruptcy cases have discovery procedures that are often referred to as fishing expeditions.

Much of it has gone to the #SacklerFamily whose name you may recognise from the Sackler Gallery at @SerpentineUK or from the new Sackler courtyard at the @V_and_A or the Sackler Wing at the @metmuseum
